We LOVE to see the beautiful German Shepherds gaiting on grass at the national!
Such a natural surface for them.

What facility in the USA offers what the Purina site does?

If breeders and owners want to promote what they are breeding more should
be going to All-Breed Shows not just showing in GSD Specialty Shows. Who
sees the dogs at the Specialty but only the owners, breeders, handlers. Which
makes the ones that attend just the breeders, handlers, owners and possible
friends. The Nationals at the Purina Farm promotes GSDs just like a All-Breed
show as people there stop in to check it out. When there are only 1 GSD or
none
showing and winning in classes at All Breed Shows or just a few showing in
GSD Specialty
classes winning points how does that show to the general public knowledge of
the GSD.
I guess if the breeders and owners just want to promote their GSDs to each
other
no reason for the General Public to be there. I do not believe this to be
the case though
as they want General Public to know of what they are breeding and showing.
I know most involved attend the Nationals but do they bring GSDs as I read I
see
most don't want to travel with their dogs. So again moving it around the USA
just
is for those who do not want to travel long distance with their dogs. If you
need airports
to allow larger crates seems to be the top reason people want it closer to
them. If the attendance
are down at Specialty shows as it is talked about all the time the Nationals
are not going to bring
dogs in all over the country but just the dogs near as it does now.
Horses are off topic of course but Horses travel all over the country in
trailers to show and
do not fly. If a person really wants to show their GSD they will do whateve
